Gold Coast child and adopted Sydney son Nathan Jolliffe is a guy who always looks good. A combination of his modeling roots and hugely enviable beachside lifestyle informs the way he wears what he wears. Think surf guy-meets-slick streetwear and great tailoring. And the entrepreneurial all-rounder has an undeniably strong hair game. Get your summer grooming inspiration from his laid-back style (and rejoice that the turbo-charged days of manicured Beckham-mania are over).

The air up there

The pompadour has been getting a lot of air time this year, and this looser, less product-interrupted iteration on Nathan (snapped by ASOS campaign co-star and GF Yan Yan Chan) is a prime example of how to do it right for a more relaxed vibe. Pop a little pomade and add some tousle to keep the height and shape.

Bleached as

If there’s one thing we’ve learned from the unheralded cred revival of the Biebs, it’s that hitting the bleach will work wonders for your rep. (That, and collabing with Diplo.) Channelling the surf/rock aesthetic that Bondi is known for, Nathan’s roughed-up version of a pompadour with a hit of bleach is the perfect done-undone style.

Crucial comb-over

Feeling a fringe? Instead of hitting up your barber, just improvise. If you’re rolling a classic short-back-and-sides with a longer layer on top, the comb-over (or comb-forward) is an entirely viable option. For that post-surf texture, towel-dry then tousle up your quiff with a little spray of product.
